For some time now reviewing high-end DDR2 memory modules has almost been
boring, as high speed 1000-1200MHz modules really offer nothing new in terms
of performance. For a while there we even had trouble getting together CPU and
motherboard combos that could overclock far enough to reach some of the incredible
DDR2 speeds manufacturers were churning out. After all, there is little point
lashing out and buying ultra expensive DDR2 memory capable of 1200MHz if you
are not going to run it at a 1:1 ratio with the CPUs FSB. That being the
case, you would need to run the CPU on a 600MHz FSB and there is not exactly
a long line of motherboards that can achieve this.
